Meet Emma

Hi there! I’m a sweet, wiggly pitbull girl looking for my forever home. I may not have had the easiest start, but you’d never know it from my big smile and my ever-wagging tail. I’m currently living with a wonderful foster family who tells me every day that I'm smart, brave, strong, and good—and I believe them! I’m the perfect mix of snuggly and playful. If you’re looking for a couch companion, I’m your girl—nothing makes me happier than curling up beside my people. But when it’s time to play? I’m all in! tug-o-war, walks, exploring the yard, car rides—I love it all. Training: Emma has mastered basic commands such as sit and stay. Emma is a quick learner and would thrive in a home that continues to provide consistent positive reinforcement and mental stimulation. Health: Emma up to date on all her vaccines but does suffer from allergies. Her allergies are well controlled using Benadryl or Zyrtec and specific food. Ideal Home: Emma is looking for a loving forever home that can provide her with the attention and affection she deserves. A family or individual who can dedicate time to her physical and mental exercise needs would be perfect. While Emma is comfortable in various living environments, a home with a securely fenced yard would allow her to safely enjoy outdoor activities. No cats. No young children - not that she doesn't love kids, but she wants all their toys as her own. ❤️ What I’m Good At Giving the BEST kisses Snuggling Learning new things—I’m smart, eager, and love treats I’m crate trained and house trained If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, I might just be the girl for you. I can’t wait to meet my person—could it be you? The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet.
